How high do you have to be in rank to fully mod cars?

73duster

I'm currently at level 38. I notice that I have far less car mods available than in the single player.

Also, I have a "charger" but it is the older version. Is there the updated version like the one franklin has in single player? I made a really cool, fully modded car out of Franklin's ride in single player, and I want to duplicate it for online.

I only see very limited options for modding in the custom shops. Am I too low in RP rank?

No alot of parts unlock by winning races,getting turbo starts,even doing stunt jumps. The majority of parts are from winning races though. There are a few things that do unlock at higher levels like armor and 1 of the car bombs. If you go to the item you want and its locked it will tell you what you have to do to unlock it.

To find out how to unlock a particular mod, select it in the Mod Shop and at the bottom of the list it will print “This item will unlock when you reach Rank 100” [for Armor Upgrade 100%].

Just took my Gauntlet to the modshop to get a full list of unlocks for performance mods for you:

Armor

20% — rank 10

40% — rank 30

60% — rank 60

80% — rank 80

100% — rank 100

Brakes

Street brakes — 11 races won in this class of car

Sport brakes — 27 races…

Race brakes — 39 races…

Engine

Level 1 — 3 races won in this class of car

Level 2 — 15 races…

Level 3 — 31 races…

Level 4 — 43 races…

Explosives

Suspension

Lowered suspension — rank 17

Some cars have more options available. The Gauntlet doesn't have competition suspension or competition transmission. Also, I'm not including the aesthetic mods (which can unlock according to rank, number of stunt jumps completed, etc.). Some vehicles won't have all of these options, some vehicles will have more. I think that any car which offers a particular mod (competition suspension, e.g.), has the same requirement for unlock (whether a particular rank, or a certain number of races won in that class of car).

The least customizable I've found is the FIB SUV, which only has explosives, respray (limited options), and bulletproof tires. The most customizable car, I believe, is the Sabre Turbo, which has options like stunt cage (other cars sometimes offer roll cage), and wheelie bar.
